Detailed Summary of the Tamiya 31902 1/700 DD-445 Fletcher

This Tamiya 1/700 kit reproduces the DD-445 Fletcher with an emphasis on correct lines and essential fittings. It is aimed at collectors and modellers seeking a small but accurate representation of a WWII destroyer.

Service History Reflected in Scale

The Fletcher-class played a notable role across WWII theatres, and the model highlights signature elements such as the single 12.7cm gun turrets and the ship's characteristic deck layout, all scaled to 1/700 proportions.

Build Characteristics and Finishing

Components include finely moulded weaponry, a torpedo launcher and metal elements to aid balance. Waterslide decals and a clear pictorial guide are supplied to support painting and completion of the model.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1/700

Small 1/700 parts demand careful handling and precise gluing. Use fine tweezers and minimal adhesive to avoid excess glue spoiling details.
Many modellers add subtle weathering, extra rigging or aftermarket photo-etched parts to enhance realism, though the kit is complete as supplied for an attractive finished model.
Once assembled and sealed with a clear coat, the model is stable for normal display. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive humidity to preserve decals and paintwork.
